Against the World For the World: The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates

The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates states that when the higher or superior civil authority makes an unjust or immoral law or decree, the lesser ranking civil authority has the right and duty to interpose and refuse obedience.

Matt Trewhella, Pastor of The Mercy Seat Church, and author of the book “The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates” discussed the responsibility of the lesser magistrates to resist unjust decrees, and the duty of their constituents to educate these magistrates, rally them, and support them in this interposition.
